I had the exact same issue on when I checked my starts on 5th May 2022. For two days I got 10 times more views than the daily average. I never check my stats as it messes with my productivity and I wasn't going to start now. I closed it and haven't looked there since. I expect my earnings to be the same as always. But I think it may be a result of one or more articles getting external traction. Most of our articles are scrapped and put on other random sites on the internet and if you have a link within those articles that links back to your work on medium, I can see how that could send some views your way... Or it may most likely be that one of those your medium articles is getting views from google..
